Wrong Answers Only

 Succession Season 3 - I'm in.

Watched Stand By Me avec la famille. I liked it. Other recent family viewings include Junior Bake Off, Blackadder and Shazam!

Christmas 2020: I requested a sketch pad but barely used it. Too shy to put pencil to paper. Even if no one else saw it. Well, now I'm trying to sketch regularly for the fun of it and not worry too much what anyone thinks (which is just as well).

I tried to copy a caricature of Shostakovich but it looked more like Barry Took.

So Harry Pye suggested I try drawing Barry Took.

I can't un-see Geoffrey Howe.

I tried for Paul McCartney. Someone asked, "Townsend?"

I sketched my favourite drummer...

...someone said, "Rikki Fulton?". Other suggestions received: Richard Manuel, Ricky Fataar, Cozy Powell, Derek Griffiths.

Ringo! Its blinkin' Ringo! Ringo Starr. He was in a band called - oh forget it.

My Picasso ended up somewhere between Telly Savalas and Jean-Paul Gaultier...

OK, let's try Philip Glass...


Voice from the back: "Is it Jonathan Miller?"

Right. Ennio Morricone...



"Michael Caine?"..."Jean-Paul Sartre?"... "Elvis Costello?"..."Philip Larkin?"

I won't share my Billy Connolly. I do have some self respect. Let's just say if Phil Kay and Sean Penn were brothers and the Police were looking for their sibling - I'm the sketch artist for the job.

I'll leave this here. I would ask for wrong answers only, but I suppose there's no need...



If you are carnivorous, Glaswegian, like pizza and you haven't tried the The Big Carne offering at Eusebi - I can recommend it.

Sod it. I'm away to play Wordle.
